OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My son is in the process of changing from an LS to a CS, he starts school May 17th. Currently he is in Meridian but he was dropped from the program. He had an 86% in the course but failed too many tests. IT was all self paced with no instructor. He is a terrible test taker. Luckily, they gave him the option of changing jobs, I hope he made the right decision!

Johanna, that would be cool! Richard has already told me that he plans to re-enlist when his time is up.

Richard has his first adventure this month. I think he is ready. He said something about a short trip to Hawaii for some presentation. He is excited, since he will be in Hawaii when he turns 21! On his way back, I've been invited to go on a Tiger Cruise. I've heard something, but not a lot. Anyone ever been on one? From what I can gather, it where the family joins the ship as it reaches home port.

Happy to find a CS Mom discussion board. Thank you all. My son just arrived on the USS Ronald Reagan and so far so good.

Mary, I agree with Johanna. Don't wait. WIth each new day brings a new adventure and a new reason to feel pride! What your son is doing now is just as great.

I have a hard time thanking a soldier or sailor. I can feel myself start to cry every time. I too, want to give them a hug and say thank you.

Mary, thank you so much for sharing! That is how I feel! SO many times, I find myself here on this site. So many of my friends don't understand. I worry so much about my boys. They are safe today, but what about tomorrow? What about will in the middle of the ocean, or being deployed with the Marines? I feel safe here. I feel that when I cry, everyone here understands.
Again, thank you for sharing.

Any moms here with CS's on the USS Blue Ridge? Congratulations to all winners! You know I post from time to time because my husbands TCA mentors to CS's aboard ships and they have a close place in my heart :-)
